UPDATE: Whatsapp is now free for everyone . Today in Italy there is no person who does not use Whatsapp on the smartphone.
Consequence of this is that Whatsapp is, in fact, taking the place of SMS so as to become a communication tool even for those who had practically never used a computer in their own life.
Downloading and installing Whatsapp on an iPhone or an Android or Windows Phone is simple and does not require many explanations (except being careful to write the name well), the only thing that can create some nuisance and difficulties is the payment of Whatsapp and renewing your subscription .
Whatsapp can be downloaded for free from the Stores for iPhone, Android, Windows Phone and other versions, but it can only be used for 12 months for free, then, after a year, it requires to be paid.
Those who bought Whatsapp from the iTunes Store for iPhone by paying 0.89 Euros, will instead be able to use Whatsapp for free forever on the same SIM.
In this guide we see how to renew Whatsapp, not only for themselves, but also for other people, relatives or friends, who have no possibility of making payments online.
By opening Whatsapp, you can go to Settings -> Account -> Payment Info . to check the expiry date of the service .
You can renew your subscription to Whatsapp before the deadline or by waiting for the payment notification to arrive.
The price of Whatsapp is very low (for this reason it is absurd to try to use it for free) and it costs 0.89 euros for a year .
You can also pay a lower price by renewing the subscription for 3 years for 2.40 Euros or for 5 years at the price of 3.34 Euros .
To pay the subscription to Whatsapp for another 12 months after the deadline there are several options .
On Android you can use the Google Wallet account, which is the one registered in the Google Play Store for the purchase of apps.
As explained in the guide for the Google Play Store, a prepaid card can be registered in Google Wallet.
Alternatively you can register a new credit or prepaid card, use a Paypal account or even use the telephone credit .
The latter option is only possible with Wind .
To find these payment options, tap the Google Wallet button like to pay, but instead of confirming the purchase, tap the down arrow next to the figure .
Alternatively, instead of paying immediately, you can ask to send the URL (the link) for payment via email .
In this way you can pay for the one-year renewal of Whatsapp from your computer, always using your Google or Paypal account.
If you don't have a registered credit card and if you don't have and don't want to create a Paypal account, you can ask a friend to pay Whatsapp for us .
This friend must have an Android smartphone, open Whatsapp, touch our name on the list, touch the options button at the top right, touch " Show contact ", touch the options button and pay.
